With Christmas around the corner is it bad to use your childrens presents as an excuse/justification to increase your gear selection?

I'm still stuck somewhere in the first couple of posts, but I see what I have to look forward to....

My last 2 years!

Should be required reading for all newbies. Just to show that this obsession doesn't come easy. And as a reminder for the rest of us who have lived it.

Thanks Ratdog from another dog.

Just the tip of the ice burg. Hope you have deep pockets.

Another way to look at it is a one time investment.

For example, I just went on a 14 day trip and it costs me about $150 for food and consumables because I already had the gear. Which isn't bad at all for a two week vacation.
